Chapter 369


    Grace picked up the phone in the inner room, "Hey, you know Elijah, right? I''m his mom."


    The other person responded, "Mrs. Bourne, hello. What can I do for you?"

    "Do you have a student named Ian at your kindergarten?"


    "Yes, we do."


    "I need some of his hair, can you get it for me? I can pay you, just name your price." Grace blurted out


    generously.


    The other person, confused, asked, "What do you need his hair for? It''s not that I don''t want to help,


    but you might not understand this kid''s situation. He doesn''t let anyone touch him. Only his sister can."


    Grace couldn''t believe that such a simple request could be so difficult with Ian.


    "Figure something out! If you can''t get the hair, blood will do!" said Grace, "Just to be straight with you,


    his mom was once married to my son, and I have some serious doubts about this kid''s background. So


    please, try your best to help me. If you seed, I''ll make it worth your while."


    The nanny noticed a shadow moving at the door, and she immediately walked towards the door.


    "Ms. Sarah, what can I do for you?" The nanny looked at Sarah, her expression serious, carefully


    choosing her words.


    Sarah looked flustered. She had been eavesdropping.


    "Oh, well... I think the gift from Grace is too expensive, I can''t ept it."


    The nanny responded, "Please wait in the living room."


    Sarah quickly headed to the living room.


    Grace finished her call shortly after. The nanny didn''t mention Sarah''s eavesdropping, as she didn''t


    want to stir up any trouble. After some small talk with Grace, Sarah said she had lunch ns with her


    father, so she had to leave.


    Leaving Old Manor, Sarah felt heavy-hearted. From what she overheard, Grace seemed suspicious of


    Violette''s two children. Even though Elijah didn''t like children, Grace was eager to have grandchildren.


    If Grace learned that Ian and Rita were Elijah''s children, she would definitely treat them like treasures


    and take Violette''s side.


    Sarah didn''t want to see that happen.


    At the restaurant, Sarah just sat down and nced at Alexa.


    "Sarah, why the long face? Didn''t Elijah give you a big chunk of money? Cheer up, money''s what


    matters most." Mr. Warrenforted.


    Sarah took a sip of water, "It''s not about that. By the way, Alexa, have you closed the deal on those


    techpanies you wanted to acquire?"


    Alexaughed, "Almost there. It''s a great time to get in. The Dennis Group is doing great right now and


    the rest of the industry is in a slump, so it''s easy to negotiate prices. You want in? I guarantee you''ll


    make a profit."


    Sarah''s eyes flickered, "How can you guarantee?"


    A determined look shed in Alexa''s eyes, "Because Violette and I are at odds! I have to win!"


    Sarah, influenced by Alexa''s determination, said, "Alright, I''m in."


    At the Dennis Group.


    After quickly finishing her morning work, Violette looked at the time and rose from her office chair. She


    walked out of thepany, heading towards a nearby pharmacy.


    Entering the pharmacy, the clerk asked, "Miss, what can I get for you?"


    Violette hesitated, then said somewhat embarrassed, "Emergency contraception."


    The clerk immediately fetched a box of morning-after pills, giving her an extra look.


    She lowered her head, opened her phone, and paid via mobile payment. After paying, she left the


    pharmacy with the pills, Elijah''s warning echoing in her mind.


    He had said that if she didn''t bear him a child, he''d haunt her for the rest of her life. He wanted her to


    carry his child, even if that child couldn''t be born alive, even if it was a stillbirth!


    She suddenly felt a chill, her body turning ice cold. The pills in her hand jangled as they hit the ground.
